PREFACE  TO  THE  THIRD  EDITION. 

In  issuing  the  third  edition  of  Home's  Pennsylvania 
German  Manual  the  publisher  is  responding  to  a  wide 
public  demand. 

An  examination  of  this  new  edition  will  reveal  many 
additional  illustrative  features  that  will  prove  both  in- 
teresing  and  instructive  to  the  student  and  reader. 

In  respect  to  the  criticism  passed  upon  Dr.  Home's 
method  of  spelling  used  in  the  Manual,  let  it  be  borne 
in  mind  that  the  author  followed  the  phonetic  rules 
with  a  suggestion  of  grammar  contained  in  the  book, 
which  when  carefully  studied  are  of  great  aid  in  learn- 
ing to  read  and  pronounce  the  dialect  correctly. 

It  is  an  absolute  necessity  that  all  Pennsylvania 
Germans  desiring  to  learn  to  pronounce  the  English 
correctly,  faithfully  study  and  practice  the  English 
pronunciation  lessons  especially  prepared  for  this  pur- 
pose by  the  author.  These  exercises  are  based  upon 
long  years  of  experience  in  school-work  among  the 
Pennsylvania  Germans. 

Since  the  Second  Edition  was  printed  there  have 
been  many  new  additions  to  Pennsylvania  German 
literature  that  have  come  into  prominence.  Selec- 
tions from  these  are  embodied.  As  previously  stated 
the  Manual  serves  as  a  Guide-book  in  pronouncing, 
speaking  and  writing  English,  and  at  the  same  time 
shows  how  Pennsylvania  German  is  spoken  and 
written. 


PREFACE  TO   THE   SECOND   EDITION. 


Twenty  years  ago  Home's  Pennsylvania  German  Manual  was  pub- 
lished, and  such  was  the  demand  for  it  that  the  edition,  with  the  excep- 
tion of  a  few  hundred  copies,  which  the  author  had  reserved,  for  special 
purposes,  was  soon  exhausted.  The  book  has  now  been  out  of  print  over 
ten  years,  but  thousands  of  copies  would  have  been  sold,  if  they  could 
have  been  obtained.  The  necessity  for  such  a  work  might  be  supposed 
to  exist  no  longer,  and,  yet,  experience  and  observation  shows  that,  m 
Pennsylvania  German  districts,  on  the  very  eve  of  the  twentieth  century, 
what  was  said,  in  the  preface  of  the  first  edition,  may  well  be 
repeated  here. 

An  experience  of  a  quarter  of  a  century,  as  a  teacher,  among  the 
people  of  Eastern  Pennsylvania,  in  addition  to  being  born  and  educated 
a  Pennsylvania  German,  and  being  compelled  to  contend  with  all  the 
disadvantages  under  which  our  people  labor,  in  their  entire  ignorance 
of  the  English  language,  has  convinced  us,  long  ago,  that  the  system  of 
education  generally  pursued  among  this  people  admits  of  very  great 
improvement,  as  far  as  it  pertains  to  language  exercises. 

That  our  Pennsylvania  Germans  can  reason  and  study  as  well  as 
t»tl,ers,  is  abundantly  proved  by  the  fact  that  in  mathematics,  where 
la.Mg-uage  is  less  of  a  desideratum  than  thinking  and  reasoning,  they  are 
found  to  be  fully  equal,  if  not  superior,  to  those  whose  mother  tongue  is 
tin:  English,  or  the  high  German. 

In  pronunciation  arid  readiness  of  expression,  however,  they  laboi 
under  gnat  disadvantages,  inasmuch  as  they  are  required  to  learn  a 
nt'.v  language  the  moment  they  enter  the  school  room.  This  is  impera- 
tively necessary,  since  Pennsylvania  German  has  no  written  language, 
no  grammar,  no  fixed  forms  of  orthography,  but  very  little  literature  ani 
in  Mil  probability  will  always  remain  a  colloquial  rather  than  a  written 
language. 

The  jrrcat  problem  presented  for  solution,  is  how  shall  six  to  eight 
hundred  thousand  inhabitants  of  Eastern  Pennsylvania,  to  say  nothing 
of  those  of  other  parts  of  our  own  fet.-ite  and  of  other  States,  to  whom 
Siigl'sh  is  as  much  a  dead  language  as  Latin  and  Greek,  acquire  a  suf- 
ficicM  knowledge  of  English  to  enable  them  to  use  that  language  iutelli- 


PREFACE  TO  THE  SECOND  EDITION 

gently  ?  They  can  not  pick  it  up  on  the  street,  nor  do  they  learn  it  in 
school.  A  trial  of  from  thirty  to  forty  years  has  convinced  us  of  this, 
as  every  careful  observer  will  also  bear  us  out. 

To  render  such  assistance  to  those  who  speak  Pennsylvania  German 
only,  as  will  enable  them  the  more  readily  to  acquire  the  English,  has 
induced  us  to  prepare  this  Manual. 

The  book  is  divided  into  four  parts  : 

Part  first  embraces  Lessons  in  Pronunciation,  and  drills  in  those 
sounds,  which  cause  difficulties  to  those  who  speak  German.  The  object 
of  part  first  is,  therefore,  to  teach,  by  easy  lessons,  how  to  master  these 
defects,  and  to  acquire  a  correct  pronunciation  of  the  English. 

In  part  second,  we  give  a  number  of  exercises  written  in  Pennsyl- 
vania German.  This  part  of  the  book  is  designed  to  afford  those  who 
use  it  an  opportunity  to  become  familiar  with  the  English,  by  translating 
from  their  own  language  into  the  English. 

Part  third  is  the  Pennsylvania  German  dictionary.  Here  are  given 
not  only  the  words  employed  in  part  second,  with  their  English  equiva- 
lents, but  also  all  the  words  in  use  in  the  Pennsylvania  German  lan- 
guage. By  means  of  this  vocabulary,  Pennsylvania  Germans  can  learn 
to  speak  and  write  English  properly. 

Part  fourth  is  a  special  addition  to  the  present  volume.  It  contains 
English  words  with  their  Pennsylvania  German  equivalents.  This  will 
be  convenient  for  those  who  desire  to  know  what  the  Pennsylvania  Ger- 
man of  an  English  expression  is. 

In  the  hope  that  this  Manual  may  serve  as  a  guide  to  the  study  of 
English,  and  that  it  may  facilitate  the  acquisition  of  the  language,  a 
thorough  knowledge  of  which  is  indispensable  to  every  Pennsylvania!!, 
ii  is  submitted  to  the  public,  for  use  in  schools  and  families.

ENGLISH  PRONUNCIATION. 

Rules  and  Suggestions  With  Examples  for  Drill 
In  Pronunciation. 

GENERAL  REMARKS. 

This  book  is  not  designed  as  a  Manual  of  Elocution,  nor  for 
teaching  reading  and  pronunciation  in  general.  Our  purpose 
is  simply  to  furnish  a  tew  plain  suggestions  for  correcting  the 
mistakes  which  persons,  whose  mother  tongue  is  the  German, 
are  apt  to  make  in  their  efforts  to  acquire  the  English.  All 
direciions  for  giving  those  sounds  which  are  the  same  in  Ger- 
man as  in  English  are,  therefore,  omitted.  Any  one  of  the 
ordinary  School  Readers  will  furnish  the  necessary  rules  and 
exercise*  for  this  purpose. 

The  following  general  suggestions,  however,  will  be  found 
of  special  importance : 

A  very  common  fault  noticed,  among  Pennsylvania  Ger- 
mans, in  their  conversation  and  reading,  is  the  nasal  tone. 
The  voice  sounds  as  if  it  came  through  the  nose,  when,  in 
reality,  the  fault  lies  in  compressing  the  sides  of  the  nose,  so 
as  to  prevent  the  clear  and  full  escape  of  the  breath  through 
the  nostrils.  Prof.  Haldeman  first  called  attention  to  the 
nasal  feature  in  Pennsylvania  German  pronunciation,  as 
heard  in  Sht'a,  stone;  rn'a,  more,  etc.  This  Polish  nasal 
sound  is  very  common,  and  hence  its  creeping  into  English  is 
easily  accounted  for.  The  chief  security  against  it  consists  in 
fully  expanding  the  chest,  and  freely  opening  the  mouth,  as 
is  done  in  coughing,  so  as  to  allow  the  voice  to  escape  through 
the  nasal  passage*.  At  the  same  time  care  must  be  taken  not 
to  raise  the  veil  of  the  palate  so  high  a*  to  stop  the  nasal 
s  in  the  style  of  the  obstruction  caused  by  a  cold. 

An  almo.-t  universal  error,  among  German  children  who 
are  learning  the  English,  is  the  monotonous  prolongation  of 
final  syllables.  In  fact  this  fault  is  not  confined  to  children. 
It  is  H3  common  even  among  adults,  that  persons  from  other 
parts  of  the  State  have  asserted  their  ability  to  detect  an  in-

itf.i^  vvf  this  section  of  the  State  by  his  modulation. 
The  formation  of  this  habit  must  be  broken  up  in  children 
by  teaching  them  to  pronounce  their  words  short,  when  read- 
ing and  speaking.  Rev.  Jacob  Gruber,  a  Methodist  preacher, 
who  was  a  native  of  Eastern  Pennsylvania,  cured  one  of  his 
brethren  who  had  addicted  himself  to  drawling  and  "  sing- 
songing" his  words  by  addr3?sing  to  him  the  following  note: 

"Dear-ah  brother-ah,  when-ah  you-ah  preach-ah  again-ah 
do-ah  not-ah  say-ah  so-ah  often-ah  ah-ah." 

Your-ah  brother-ah,

A  similar,  mild  ridiculing  may  serve  a  good  purpose,  with 
those  who  have  formed  this  unpleasant  and  objectionable  habit

Correct  Pronunciation,  in  12  Lessons. 

VOWELS. 

LESSON  I.— SHORT  E. 

The  sound  of  e  in  men,  egg,  beg,  etc.,  is  apt  to  be  pro- 
longed into  mane,  aeg,  baeg. 

Rule. — Sound  short  e  like  the  German  e  in  Henry,  Bell,  etc. 

Pronounce :  Bed,  dead,  fed,  head,  led,  lead,  ned,  read, 
said,  wedding. 

Deaf,  Jeff,  left,  Neff,  beg,  beggar,  egg,  leg. 

Ben,  again,  den,  hen,  ten,  men,  then,  when,  pen,  wren. 

Cent,  end,  bet,  let,  net,  set,  wet,  met,  tell,  bell,  tell, 
sell,  well,  spell. 

When  men  sell  ten  pens  for  a  cent,  begging  can  be 
expected  next. 

Deaf  Ben  said  he  was  led  to  a  wedding. 

[Take  up  a  newspaper  or  a  Reader,  and  read  aloud  a  num- 
ber of  paragraphs,  giving  short  e  the  proper  sound  where  it 
occurs. 

Wnffh  closely  all  whom  you  hear  speaking  and  reading  dur- 
ing the  day  and  note  the  mistakes  which  you  hear.] 

LESSON  IL— LONG  U. 

This  sound  is  often  given  like  o  in  do,  which  is  wrong. 

Rule. — Sound  long  u  like  the  first  syllable  in  Yu-ni,  Juni, 
June,  so  as  to  rhyme  with  few. 

The  exceptions  to  this  rule  are  when  u  follows  r,  8  and  sh. 

Pronmmce :  Due,  dew,  adieu,  allude,  allure,  lute,  lure, 
new,  knew,  true,  sugar,  during,  manure,  endure,  dupli- 
cate, duly,  reduce,  illume,  presume,  lubricate,  Lubec, 
luminous,  lunatic,  lunar,  nude,  Nubia,  New  York,  New

What  is  the  difference  between  pure  gold  and  poor  gold? 

The  constitutioi.  of  the  institute  was  read  during. Tues- 
day's meeting,  and,  being  duly  discussed,  it  was  reduced 
to  a  new  form,  of  which  duplicates  were  circulated. 

[The  same  directions  for  practice,  as  given  in  the  last  lesson 
should  be  followed  iu  this  and  every  exercise.] 

LESSON  III.— SHORT  O. 

0,  as  heard  in  ox,  not,  etc.,  is  sometimes  given  too 
broad  a  sound,  so  as  to  resemble  the  German  a,  as  in  all. 
Thus  dog  is  pronounced  dawg,  coffee,  caw-fee,  etc.  This 
is  wrong.  The  short  o  should  be  sounded  as  it  is  heard 
in  box,  sot,  etc.,  words  familiar  to  all  Grerman  children. 

Pronounce :  Mock,  rock,  yonder,  stock,  off,  of,  oft, 
offal,  offer,  often,  ostrich,  accost,  across,  forty,  gospel, 
gosling,  gone,  lord,  wont,  softly,  soften,  knock,  sock,  was, 
what,  wander. 

Pj-jf.  Coilin  is  fond  of  coffee,  but  not  of  egg-nog. 

CONSONANT  SOUNDS. 


LESSON  IV.— B,  P,  D,  T,  G  AND  K. 

B  and  p,  d  and  t  are  frequently  interchanged.  This, 
however,  is  only  from  carelessness,  and  not  because  Ger- 
man children  have  any  difficulty  in  giving  these  sounds. 
These  sounds  are  just  as  common  in  German  as  in  Eng- 
lish, only  the  lines  of  distinction'  especially  between  d  and 
t,  are  not  as  closely  drawn.  Hence  words  commencing 
with  t  -ire  sometimes  pronounced  as  if  they  commenced 
with  i,  as  dot  for  tod.  The  only  rule  necessary  on  this 
poi-  .1  is  :  Exercise  care,  so  as  not  to  confound  these  sounds. 

EXCEPTION. — D  ha*  the  sound  of  t  in  the  final  syllable 
*.d.  when  the  e  is  silent  and  follows  k,  p,  ch,  *h,  ss  and  x, 
as  shipped  (shipt)  mixed  (rnixt.) 

Pronounce  :  Hissed,  sacked,  approached,  wished, 
knocked,  cocked,  docked,  smoked,  choked,  poked,  popped, 
dropped,  wrapped,  capped,  hatched,  scratched,  latched, 
irutchoJ,  mashed,  lashed,  washed,  fished,  missed,  kissed, 

12

tossed,  mixed,  boxed,  fixed. 

The  horse  kicked  and  jumped  till  he  had  pushed  and 
pulled  all  the  harness  from  him. 

The  published  reports  were  searched,  after  he  addressed 
the  mixed  assembly. 

LESSON  V.— CH. 

Rule. — Sound  ch  like  tsh,  and  not  like  j  or  g.  Say  tshest, 
and  not  jest,  when  you  pronounce  chest, — tshill,  not  gill  or 
jill  for  chill,  etc. 

This  rule  requires  daily  drills. 

Pronounce :  Chair,  chalk,  change,  chamber,  chapel, 
chase,  chat,  cheap,  cheese,  checker,  chief,  child,  cheer, 
chest,  cheat,  chew,  choose,  chum,  chip,  cheap,  chisel,  ex- 
change, chin,  cherry,  choke,  chop,  chosen,  chubby. 

Chief  Justice  Chase's  child  chews  juicy  cherries. 

Jews  choose  to  chew  juice. 

Jerusalem,  my  chief  joy. 

The  chair  was  jeered  and  G}  eered. 

It  is  a  job  to  chop  Jane's  'Lain. 

LESSON  VI.— G  SOFT,  AND  J. 

These  sounds  are  precisely  similar,  and  are  often  con- 
founded with  ch,  so  that  gem,  Jane,  etc.,  are  pronounced 
chem,  chain,  etc. 

Rule. — Give  G  soft  and  J,  the  sound  of  dj  or  dzh. 

Pronounce, :  Gem,  gill,  general,  gender,  gentle,  gen- 
uine, gesture,  j<tck,  jag,  jail,  iam,  Japan,  jar,  jaundice, 
Jane,  jay,  jealous,  jeer,  jelly,  Jennie,  jerk,  Jersey,  giant, 
gigantic,  gist,  gypsy,  gymnastics,  gypsum,  genesis,  geo- 
graphy, George,  German,  jest,  jet,  Jew,  jig,  Jim,  James, 
job,  jogging,  John,  joint,  joke,  jolly,  just,  June,  ginger. 

The  fo.  lowing  circumstance,  which  actually  happened  a  few 
years  ago.  will  illustrate  how  those  whose  mother  tongue  is 
the  German  may  commit  very  serious  blunders,  in  confound- 
ing the  sound  of  "ch"  and  "j."  A  letter  was  dropped  into 
thf  New  York  post  office,  directed  to  Nucharmoni  Nucharsi. 
The  U.  S.  Directory  \\as  examined  to  ascertain  the  locality 
of  this  place.  Po»t  offices  were  found  in  the  Swedish  and 


13 


ENGLISH  PRONUNCIATION 

Norwegian  settlements  in  the  West,  whose  names  somewhat 
resembled  the  sounds  of  this  address.  The  letter  was  sent  to 
each  of  these  offices,  but  was  as  often  returned  to  New  York, 
with  the  remark  "does  not  belong  to  this  place."  At  length, 
the  letter  having  again  been  returned  to  New  York,  the  atten- 
tion of  one  of  the  German  clerks  was  called  to  the  endorse- 
ment, who  at  once  deciphered  it  as  New  Germany,  New 
-Jersey,  a  place  within  fifty  miles  of  New  York.  The  letter 
forwarded  thither,  found  its  owner  in  a  few  hours  after  its 
circuitous  route  of  six  weeks,  and  twice  as  many  thousand 
oiles,  all  in  consequence  of  a  German's  misconception  of 
the  "j"  sound. 

LESSON  VII.— S. 

S,  lias  two  sounds  the  regular  sharp  or  hissing  sound, 
as  heard  in  Sam,  this,  miss,  etc.,  and  the  buzzing  sound 
of  z,  as  has,  was,  is,  etc.,  pronounced  haz,  woz,  iz,  etc. 
To  give  s  its  proper  sound  in  all  cases  is  one  of  the  most 
difficult  tasks  in  learning  English,  and  usually  requires 
great  care,  much  time,  and  persistent  drill. 

Rule  1. — At  the  beginning  of  a  word  S  always  has  the  sharp 
or  hissing  sound,  as  see,  some;  not  zee,  zome. 

Rule  2. — At  the  end  of  a  word  s  usually  has  the  z  sound,  as 
has,  is,  etc. 

The  exceptions  to  this  rule  are  (1)  after  p,  c,  &,  t  and  /— (2) 
in  the  terminations  us  and  ous — (3)  in  the  terminations  as  and 
is  (except  the  words  has,  was,  whereas,  his,  is  and  the  plurals 
in  eas) — (4)  in  the  termination  es  when  e  is  silent  and  follows 
jp,  k  and  t.  In  all  these  cases  it  has  the  aspirated  or  simple  s 
sound,  as  tops,  tacks,  conscious,  writes,  gas,  kiss,  etc. 

Rule  3. — S  when  neither  at  the  beginning  nor  at  the  end  of 
a  word  usually  has  the  sharp  or  hissing  sound,  except  (1)  in 
the  termination  ism,  son  and  sen,  as  reason,  seasou  (rezii,  sezn) 
— (2)  usually  after  the  prefix  re,  as  reside  [rezide]  — (3)  in  dis- 
arm, disaster,  discern,  disease,  disheir,  disdain,  dishonest,  dis- 
honor, dismal,  disown,  dissolve.  (Commit  these  eleven  to 
memory.)  [4]  often  in  the  terminations  se,  as  rose  [roze] 
praise  [praize,]  though  sometimes  s  in  terminations  se  is 
aspirated,  as  house,  cease,  increase. 

Rule  4- — In  nouns  and  adjectives  s  is  aspirated,  while  in 
verbs  it  has  the  z  sound,  as  use,  close,  rise. 

S,  in  praise,  close  and  cause,  as  nouns,  has  the  z  sound,  and 
in  chase,  cease  and  lease,  as  verbs,  the  aspirate. 


ENGLISH  PRONOUNCIATION 

Rule  5.  — C  soft  has  the  z  sound  in  sacrifice,  suffice  and 
discern. 

Pronounce,  according  to  Rule  1  :  Say,  see,  some, 
since,  sew. 

Pronounce,  according  to  Rule  2,  and  watch  the  excep- 
tions :  As,  is,  his,  has,  was,  kiss,  gas,  peas,  does,  tongs, 
mass,  toes,  noes,  dominos,  iniquitous,  eyes,  joys,  snuffers, 
laws,  trowsers,  eaves,  shears,  tears?. 

Pronounce  the  following  according  to  Rule  3,  and  note 
the  exceptions  :  Base,  aspect,  desire,  mason,  desolate,  dis- 
burse, disgrace,  disease,decease,  disdain,  disclose,  discorse, 
discount,  disguise,  disregard,  dissolution,  dislocate,  dis- 
solve, disusage,  (In  how  many  of  the  prefixes  dis  has  s 
the  z  sound?)  prison,  easy,  gosling,  dysentery,  lose,  loose, 
miserable,  music,  muse,  research,  resemble,  resent,  resist, 
reserve,  reside,  resign,  resolve,  resort,  resource,  resolu- 
tion, increase,  house.  (It  is  best  to  examine  the  diction- 
ary for  each  one  of  the  preceding  words.) 

Rule  4  — Examples  of  nouns,  aojecrive»  and  verbs.  Cease, 
copies,  dice,  dies,  fus**,  g  ret*  ft*,  [m,un]  grt-a***-,  [verb]  rise, 
[noun]  abuse,  the  ill  use  of  a  thing,  auu  ahusf.  to  me  ill,  close, 
the  conclusion,  and  clo*»e,  to  shut,  excuse,  an  apoloyy.  and  ex- 
cuse, to  pardon,  use  as  a  vtovn,  and  use  as  a  verb. 

It  is  easy  for  a  mouse  to  mouse  in  a  house,  if  the  use 
of  the  refuse  clothes  is  refused  her  in  the  barn.

Choose  a  useftu  position,  and  rise  in  history,  above  the 
base  hisses  of  disrespectful  asses,  to  unceasing  praise. 

His  cousin  was  as  great  a  tease  as  ever  housed  peas  in 
trowsers. 

He  fell  on  the  ice  and  hurt  his  eyes. 

A  thousand  drowsy,  dishonest  noisy  chaise  drivers 
chased  us  with  their  noses. 

[As  additional  drills  on  the  sounds  of  s  take  a  book  01-  a 
newspaper  and  mark  with  a  lead  pencil  all  s's  having  the  z 
sound.  Then  practice  in  pronouncing  all  words  in  which  the 
letter  s  occurs.  Write  on  the  blackboard,  or  in  a  memorandum 
book,  all  the  words  in  whioh  s  is  pronounced  incorrectly. 
Repeat  these  exercises,  and  review  the  words  mispronounced 
daily,  until  you  have  mastered  them  all.]

ENGLISH  PRONUNCIATION 
LESSON  VI It.— TH. 

Th  has  two  sounds,  the  sharp,  as  heard  in  thing,  and 
the  soft,  as  heard  in  then. 

Rule. — Give  the  sound  of  t  with  the  tongue  approaching  the 
lower  lip  and  the  upper  teeth  for  the  sharp,  and  the  sound  of 
d  in  the  same  way  for  the  soft  th  sound.  Or,  shape  the  lips  as 
if  you  were  going  to  give  the  /  sound,  and  then  whisper  t  for 
the  sharp  th,  and  give  an  utterance  of  the  voice  with  t  for  the 
soft  th. 

Pronounce:  Thence,  thick,  thieves,  thimble,  thigh, 
thirst,  truths,  paths,  this,  thought,  thistle,  thou,  thou- 
sand, thunder. 

I  thought  I  sought  the  thick  sick  man  in  the  South. 

All  her  paths  are  paths  of  peace. 

The  souse  of  the  south  is  so  thick,  that  the  sick  man 
thought  it  was  thicker  than  thistles. 

The  strife  ceaseth,  peace  approacheth,  and  he  rejoiceth. 

The  sea  ceaseth  and  that  sufnceth  us. 

Three-fourths  of  three-fifths  of  seven-sixths  of  three- 
eighths. 

He  that  despiseth  his  neighbor  sinneth. 

He  that  ret'useth  thriftlessness  and  rejoiceth  in  thorough 
thinking  thrives. 

Demosthenes  practiceth  callisthenics. 

[All  pupils  who  fail  to  give  the  th  sound  correctly  should  be 
put  into  a  class,  and  drilled  on  exercises  like  the  above  daily, 
till  they  can  give  the  sound  perfectly.  Make  them  stand  <»n 
the  floor,  and  do  not  permit  any  one  to  rak*-  his  srar.  rill  tie 
gives  th  correctly,  if  it  takes  till  uaidni^Li.  Persevere, 
persevere.] 

LESSON  IX.— V  AND  W. 

These  sounds  are  frequently  interchanged,  by  those 
who  speak  German,  owing  to  there  being  no  w  sound  in 
that  language.  The  Germans  give  their  v  the  sound  of 
/,  and  w  the  sound  of  v.  Woll  is  pronounced  like  the 
English  voll,  wein,  vine,  etc. 

Rule. — To  produce  the  v  sound  place  the  lower  lip  against 
the  upper  teeth  and  explode  the  breath.  To  produce  the  w

ENGLISH  PRONUNCIATION 

sound  press  both  lips  forward,  and  form  a   round  opening    in 
front — now  imitate  the  sound  of  the  wind. 

Pronounce  :  Vine,  wine,  vave,  wave,  vea!,  weal,  wale, 
vale,  veil,  wail,  Verde,  word,  versed,  worst,  vest,  west, 
wile,  vile,  vice,  wise,  vie,  y,  bewail,  avail,  revenge,  revive, 
intervene,  interweave,  swear,  won,  one,  one-valved,  v. 

Virgie  wants  to  visit  Wilkes-Barre  once. 

Victor  Wood  would  vote  once  for  a  winter  vacation. 

We  were  very  well  aware  that  the  wag  was  void  of 
wisdom. 

LESSON  X.— WH. 

Rule. — In  wh  sound  the  h  first,  like  hw  or  hu,  not  witch  for 
which,  wat  for  what,  but  hwich  or  huich,  hwat,  orhuat. 

Pronounce  :  Wheel,  weal,  veal,  whist,  wist,  wharf, 
where,  ware,  when,  wen,  while,  wile,  vile,  whip,  white, 
which,  why,  y.  vie,  whiskers,  whistle,  Whitsuntide, 
whopper. 

Tlie  Prince  of  Wales  caught  whales. 

He  wets  his  whetstone  with  wine,  and  whines  when  he 
cuts  the  vines. 

What  whim  led  White  Whitney  to  whittle,  whistle, 
whisper  and  whimper  near  tha  wharf,  where  a  whale 
wheeled  and  whirled  ? 

Whateley,  Whittier  and  Whitefield  never  were  at 
Wheeling. 

LESSON  XL— X. 

X  represents  a  compound  sound,  which  is  either  a 
combination  of  ks  or  gz. 

Rule- — X  generally  has  the  sound  of  gz  before  an  accented 
syllable  beginning  with  a  vowel  or  h,  in  other  cases  it  has  the 
ks  sound. 

Note. — This  rule  is  mostly  applicable  to  the  prefix  ex,  and 
the  deriviatives  of  such  words  a&have  the  accent  on  the  syl- 
lable following  ex  in  the  primary. 

Example,  exalt,  etc.,  are  in  accordance  with  this  rule  pro- 
nounced exgzample,  egzalt,  etc.,  exemplary,  exhalation,  etc,, 

2a  17 


ENGLISH  PRONUNCIATION 

being  derivatives  from  words  having  the  accent  on  the  syllable 
following  ex,  are  according  to  the  note,  pronounced  egzem- 
plary,  egzhalation. 

Such  words  as  proximity,  doxology,  etc.,  though  accented 
on  the  syllable  following  x,  inasmuch  as  the  first  syllable  is 
not  ex,  are  pronounced  proksimity,  doksology,  etc.  Aux- 
iliary, however,  follows  the  rules. 

Pronounce  in  accordance  with  the  rule,  observing  the  note 
and  explanations:  Expand,  exotic,  exhaust,  express,  exalt, 
exist,  exile,  (eksile,  because  accented  on  the  first  syllable) 
exhort  (egzhort)  exhortation  (ekshortation,  becau.se  the  accent 
is  changed  from  the  syllable  hor  to  ta,)  exert,  exhibit,  exhi- 
bition (exhibition  for  the  same  reason  as  ekshortation)  ex- 
port, exonerate,  exigence,  executive,  execution,  execute, 
executor,  executer,  exempt,  example,  exemplary,  excuse. 

He  executed  the  doxology  in  an  excellent  and  exemplary 
manner. 

The  executrix  examined  the  excellent  exotics.

MISCELLANEOUS  EXERCISES. 

Christianity  disowneth  not  externals,  notwithstanding 
that  it  enforceth  the  exact  observance  of  internals.  It 
neither  disdains  nor  disallows  research.  It  disclaims  re- 
sentment, and  chides  unjust  resolutions.  It  resists  sooth- 
ing, selfish  thoughts,  and,  in  the  language  of  psalmody, 
chastiseth  him  that  ariseth  and  rejoice th,  because  his 
rise  sufficeth  him.  Not  three-tenths,  hundredths,  thou- 
sandths, millionths,  billionths,  nor  trillionths  choose  the 
paths  of  exilement  from  it,  and  exist  exemplarily. 

A  loose  change  cheers  gently,  just  as  one  loses  his 
position,  resources,  clothes,  reason  and  resolution,  ex- 
changing vice  for  a  wise  vision  of  worth.

almost  everything  in  use,  can  be  discerned,  or  passed,  in;

The  supposition  is  that  his  wild-goose  chase  was  too 
close  to  the  close  of  his  eyes,  when  the  noes  hissed  him 
as,  exhausted,  he  exhorted.

PART  SECOND. 

Pennsylvania     German     Literature. 

Exercises  for  Translation  Into  English. 

REMARKS. 

The  followirig  Exercises  consist  of  selected  and  original 
Proverbs,  Ballads,  Anecdotes  and  Compositions,  on  various 
subjects,  in  Prose  and  Poetry,  by  writers  in  Pennsylvania 
German.  These  exercises  are  written  in  easy  style,  many  of 
them  being  familiar  sayings  in  the  households  of  our  people. 
They  are  inserted  here  for  the  purpose  of  affording  easy  exer- 
ri«es  for  translation  into  English — a  first  round  in  the  ladder 
of  learning  the  English  language. 

Moreover  as  many  learn  English  simply  in  a  parrot-like 
manner,  our  purpose  is  to  teach  them  the  sense,  as  well  as  the 
sound  of  words  and  sentences.  Hence  these  exercises  for 
translation. 

HOW  TO  USE  THE    BOOK. 

1.  Every  letter  and  diphthong  employed  on  the  following 
pages  has  its  one,  own,,  peculiar  sound,  and  no  other.     The  words 
are,    therefore,    spoiled    by    the    phonetic    system,    following 
neither  the  English  nor  the  High  German  methods  of  spelling 
and  pronunciation. 

As  there  is  no  h'xed  system  of  writing  Pennsylvania  German, 
we  have  adopted  an  alphabet  of  sounds,  using  the  English 
characters,  with  which  every  child  is  familiar.  The  table  of 
sounds  will  follow. 

2.  A  dictionary  and  English  vocabulary  is  appended,    con- 
stituting the  Third  and  Fourth  Parts  of  this  book,  which  gives 
all  the  words  used  in  the  reading  exercises,   as  well  as  all  in 
use  in  Pennsylvania  German.     With  the  aid  of  this  vocabulary 
the  reading  exercises  are  to  be  translated  into  good  English. 

8.  In  a  Manual  of  the  size  of  this  book,  not  as  large  a  num- 
ber, nor,  as  great  a  variety  of  exercises  for  translation  can  be 
given  as  is  deniable.  Those  given  are  simply  to  serve  as 


22 


PENNSYLVANIA  GEEMAN  LITERATURE  ^ 

specimens  of  what  can  and  should  be  done,  particularly  in 
schools.  Not  only  should  all  these  reading  exercises  be  given 
in  English  in  the  learner's  own  words,  but  every  word  and 
expression,  every  conversation,  in  fact  everything  heard  or 
spoken  by  the  pupil,  in  Pennsylvania  German,  should  be 
translated  into  good,  grammatical  English.  Commencing  with 
the  names  of  objects  in  and  about  the  house,  words  in  use  in 
ordinary  conversation,  idioms,  expressions,  etc.,  continue  until 
a  connected  talk  can  be  given  in  dialogues,  and  eventually  in 
any  shape,  and  on  any  subject  in  English,  without  even  hav- 
ing occasion  to  refer  to  the  lexicon.

Pears  fall  pounce,  pounce,  pounce, 

And  baby  runs  and  fpicks  them  up. 

The  pears — yes  they  will  fall, 

And  come  down  from  above, ' 

Like  a  thousand  hard  burned  bricks.

THE  NAMES,  HARMON  AND  JACOB. 

Once  upon  a  time  a  man  was  walking  through  a  swamp, 

and  getting  into  a  marshy  place,  sunk  down  up  to  his   neck. 

As  he  stuck  in  there  with  only  his  head  out,   another  came

along  the  road,  and  he  called  out  to  him,  Hear:  man(harmon) 
The  other  only  saw  the  head,  and  thinking  it  was  nothing  but 
a  head,  said:  Yes,  head  yes,  head,  (yaw  kap.)  In  this  way 
came  the  names  Harmon  and  Jacob,  (being  the  English  for

YET  A  LITTLE  WHILE. 

Augustus  Smith  once  wanted  to  begin  preaching,  So  he 
tried  in  the  barn  on  a  hogshead,  and  began  to  preach  on  the 
text:  u Yet  a  little  while  and  ye  shall  not  see  me"  As  he 
got  in  earnest  he  began  to  stamp,  the  head  broke  in  and  he 
fell  into  the  hogshead.  After  that  he  never  tried  to  preach.

Peter  Mordy  once  got  drunk,  and  falling  asleep,  fell  from 
his  horse.  The  people  let  his  horse  run  home,  and  left  the 
bridle  in  his  hand.  As  he' awoke  he  said:  "Am  I  Peter

THE  SIGN  AT  THE  MOON. 

The  Liar  Henry  Bachman  once  was  on  the  Blue  Moun- 
tain shooting.  As  he  loaded  to  shoot  a  deer,  he  did  not  know 
where  he  should  quickly  put  his  powder  horn  The  moon 
was  just  rising  and  was  in  its  first  quarter.  Then  he  hung 
his  powder  horn  on  one  of  the  horns  of  the  moon.  After  he 
had  shot  the  deer  the  moon  was  so  high  that  he  could  not 

123 


PENNSYLVANIA  GERMAN  LITERATURE 

reach  his  powder  horn  any  more.  Then  the  people  who  saw 
it  wondered  what  the  strange  sign  at  the  moon  might  be. 
But  as  the  moon  became  full  the  sign  dropped  off.

NUSBICKEL'S  PARTRIDGE  SHOOTING. 

Nusbickel,  once  upon  a  time,  met  a  flock  of  partridges 
running  around  a  haystack.  He  could  not  hit  them  in  any 
other  way,  than  by  bending  his  gun  barrel,  and  shooting  after 
them.  When  the  shot  came  around  he  jumped  up,  so  that 
they  passed  underneath  him.  In  this  way  he  killed  them  all

SHOOTING  PIGEONS. 

Liar  Bachman  once  saw  a  limb  sitting  full  of  pigeons, 
and  he  did  not  know  how  to  shoot  so  that  he  would  get  them 
all.  Then  he  shot  into  the  limb  from  below  so  that  the  limb 
split  open,  and  the  pigeons  got  fast  with  their  feet.  But  as 
they  began  to  fly  they  pulled  out  the  tree,  root  and  all,  and 
flew  away  with  it.  So  he  still  lost  them.

HOLIDAYS. 

On  Christmas  we  usually  give  gifts  to  our  friends.     The 
children  receive  Christmas  presents.      In  the  evening  Krist- 


126 


PENNSYLVANIA  GERMAN  LITERATURE 

kindel  goes  around  to  the  houses  and  distributes  Christmas 
presents.  The  children  await  him.  Sometimes  Belsnickel 
comes  and  frightens  them.  He  throws  chestnuts  around,  and 
when  the  children  run  to  pick  them  up,  he  hits  them  with 
a  whip. 

Coming  of  New  Year  and  the  departure  of  the  old  is  an- 
nounced by  shooting.  Those  shooting  go  from  house  to  house, 
present  their  New  Year's  wishes  and  shoot  before  the  door. 
As  we  meet  each  other  the  first  time  on  New  Year  we  wish 
each  other  a  Happy  New  Year.  Each  one  tries  to  get  ahead 
of  the  other  in  wishing. 

At  Easter  people  have  Easter  eggs.  Then  they  pick  eggs 
with  each  other.  The  one  breaking  the  other's  egg  gets  it.  If 
you  meet  some  one  you  ask  :  "Where  do  you  have  my  Easter 
egg  ?"  Then  he  will  have  to  give  an  egg  if  he  has  one. 

On  Ascension  Day  no  work  is  done.  Church  services  are 
held  every  where.  Many  people  believe  that  if  they  work  on 
that  day,  lightning  will  strike  their  house.  Although  that  is 
superstition,  yet  we  ought  to  keep  the  day  holy. 

Second  Christmas,  Easter  Monday  and  Whit  Monday  are 
also  kept,  but  not  very  strictly,  usually  only  for  a  day  off, 
and  at  some  places  they  have  frolics,  but  that  is  almost  out 
of  fashion.

week  days,  in  other  parts  of  the  State  on  Sunday.  The  Fourth

FEOLICS  OR  PARTIES. 

Apple  butter  parties  are  made  in  the  fall  if  the  apples  are 
plentiful.  The  boys  and  girls  come  together  in  the  evening  and 
a  young  man  and  lady  stir,  or  take  care  of  the  kettle,  and  put 
wood  on  the  fire.  The  rest  peel  apples.  When  the  apples  are 
all  peeled  they  have  fun  awhile  until  the  apple  butter  is  done, 
then  they  "lick  the  kettle." 

Mowing  parties  are  made  by  moonlight  in  hay  making, 
and  the  time  of  making  the  second  crop.  Fifteen  to  twenty 
neighbors  come  together  and  mow  grass.  At  about  ten  o'clock 
they  have  a  good  supper,  and  there  is  no  lack  of  something 
to  drink. 

Quilting  parties  are  made  by  the  women  when  they  have 
a  quilt  to  make.  The  ladies  are  invited  and  sew  at  the  quilt 
in  the  afternoon.  A  good  supper  is  prepared,  and  when  it 
gets  dark  the  boys  in  the  neighborhood  come  together  and 
have  pleasure  till  late  at  night.  Sometimes  they  dance  if  they 
have  any  one  to  play  the  violin. 

Corn  husking  parties  are  made  in  the  fall.  When  it  is 
moonlight  they  are  made  in  the  evening,  otherwise  in  the 
afternoon.  If  a  girl  finds  a  red  ear  she  is  usually  kissed,  and 
then  they  laugh.  In  the  evening  they  have  amusements  after 
the  husking  is  done. 

Moving  in  spring  is  also  a  pleasant  time.  Sometimes 
there  are  as  many  as  twenty  wagons.  The  boys  and  girls 
make  it  suit  so  that  they  get  together  on  one  wagon  while 
driving.  When  they  get  to  the  place  they  set  up  the  stove3 
and  beds,  make  dinner  and  have  a  good  time  till  late  at  night.

BATTALION. 

Battalion  used  to  be  a  great  time.  Once  a  year,  usually 
the  Fourth  of  July,  Easter  Monday  and  Whit  Monday, 
Abe  people  would  come  together  at  some  places  from  a 
great  distance.  Daring  the  day  they  drilled  and  paraded  as 
are  drilled  for  war.  The  drum  and  fifes  were  played 
they  marched  to  the  beating  of  the  bass  drum.  In  the 
there  was  a  dance.  Women  were  present.  One 
play  the  violin  for  a  sixpense  or  a  fip  a  couple.  They 
so  eager  for  dancing  that  the  fiddler  could  hardly  get 
They  would  place  the  fips  on  his  knees  and  some  he 
in  nis  mouth,  and  played  on  the  whole  time.  They 
so  much  that  they  got  full,  and  then  some  wanted  to 


131 


PENNSYLVANIA  GERMAN  LITERATURE 

fight.  Sometimes  they  would  skrike  each  other's  eyes  black, 
make  up  again,  and  drink  with  each  other.  Thus  battalion 
was  a  great  time,  and  much  pleasure  for  the  people  of  that 
time.  Mark  shooting,  hustling  matches,  story  telling  and 
the  like  marked  the  events  of  the  day.  Lindsay  often  had 
bis  show  at  these  places.

THE  OLD  GAMES. 


In  school  they  were  corner  ball,  bat  ball,  chase  ball, 
•hooting,  old  sow,  and  sometimes,  when  the  school  house  was 
•ear  to  the  woods,  deer,  while  the  girls  used  to  play  ring, 
Hue  bird,  vineyard  and  bridge  building.  At  home  they  played 
Itide  and  seek,  plumsack,  blind-man's-buff,  figmill,  crossmill, 
ringrnill,  cat's  head,  goose  foot,  Jack,  and  many  others,  some 
•f  which  are  played  to  this  day.  There  were  snitsing  matches, 
quilting  parties  and  stripping  matches,  where  *hey  played 
party  plays  and  sometimes  had  dancing. 

To  play  corner  ball  there  were  four  corners,  with  one  on 
earn  corner  and  a  number  inside,  who  were  hit  with  the  ball 
by  those  on  the  corners.  Bat  ball  was  played  much  like  our 
ball,  except  that  they  had  a  soft  ball.  To  play  chasing 


133 


PENNSYLVANIA  GERMAN  LITERATURE 

ball  there  was  only  one  who  would  run  from  corner  to  co 
and  hit  those  inside  with  the  ball.  In  shooting  ball  one  took 
the  ball  and  ran  after  the  others  till  he  had  hit  them  all.  Deer 
was  about  the  same,  except  that  they  called  themselves  deer 
and  ran  around  in  the  woods.  Ring  playing  was  much  as  our 
ring  playing  to-day.  To  play  blue  bird  they  all  had  tire 
names  of  birds  and  one  had  to  guess  which  one  was  the  bl«e 
bird.  To  play  hide  and  seek  they  would  all  hide  and  one  fea& 
to  seek  the  others.  Plumsack.  They  took  an  old  towd^ 
turned  and  twisted  it  with  a  knot  at  the  end,  and  sat  o«  a. 
bench,  when  one  had  to  find  it  behind  them.  A  good  deal  of 
lashing  was  done  till  it  was  found.  Figmill,  crossmill, 
mill,  cat's  head  and  goose  foot  were  played  on  pieces  of 
with  grains  of  corn  and  buttons.  Hole  ball.  The  boys 
to  have  a  hole  in  the  ground,  and  one  would  lay  in  the  bai£ 
and  say  who  should  throw.  Then  the  rest  ran  away.  If  one 
was  hit  he  had  to  take  the  ball  and  if  one  missed  he  was  oat, 
Leap  frog.  (Hop,  Step  and  Jump.)  This  was  much  fun.  A 
number  of  boys  would  stand  in  a  row", — one  behind  the  other 
facing  all  one  way, — bent  down  their  heads,  and  one  of  tiieon 
would  jump  over  the  rest,  one  after  another,  until  he 
over  them  all,  when  the  last  one  would  start  in  and  so  on 
they  were  tired.

IN  OLDEN  TIME. 

In  olden  time,  which  means  to  us  more  than  a  hundred 
years  ago,  when  our  forefathers  came  into  this  country  and 
settled  in  Eastern  Pennsylvania,  the  land  was  yet  poor,  full 
of  Indians,  snakes  and  otner  pests.  The  soil  was,  in  general, 
very  poor,  lacking  manure  and  lime,  and  clover  was  not 
known.  Heavy  timber  could  only  be  found  along  streams, 
evftrvwhere  else  brush  oak.  witch-hazel  or  nothing  because 


137 


FEJNIX&Y.LVAINJLA  Ui^KMAJN   l^LTEKATURE 

the  Indians  burned  up  everything  they  could.  As  poor  as  the 
land,  so  were  our  forefathers.  They  had  nothing  except  their 
strong  arms,  trust  in  God,  industry  and  patience,  and  economic 
and  hardworking  wives,  which  assisted  everywhere  and  helped 
to  endure  severe  hardships.  How  our  forefathers  in  the  start 
helped  themselves,  no  one  can  now  fully  imagine.  Those 
old  people,  of  whose  names  \ve  now  read  on  the  old  tomb- 
stones in  our  cemeteries,  and  who  are  now  yonder  in  the 
eternal  home,  with  certainly  more  beautiful  houses,  barns,  fields 
and  gardens  than  we  have  here,  to  them  we  owe  many  thanks. 
They  were  the  people  who,  out  of  nothing,  in  great  poverty 
and  want,  prepared  the  pleasant  blooming  surroundings  in  our 
part  of  the  State,  wherein  their  posterity  nowr  live  as  the  birds 
in  hempseed.  We  should  never  forget  to  have  a  thankful 
remembrance  of  them. 

At  that  time — it  was  in  the  years  from  1727  to  1740 — the 
people  around  here  had  no  houses  as  we  have  now.  Oh,  dear 
me,  what  buildings  !  The  first  settlers,  who  came  from  the 
old  country  and  nearly  all  from  the  Palatinate  were  in  our  com- 
munity throughout  what  we  would  call  squatters.  They 
selected  a  piece  of  land,  built  on  it  a  loghouse  and  began  to  clear 
and  cultivate  as  though  they  owned  the  land.  At  that  time 
great  complaint  was  brought  to  the  Governor  at  Philadelphia, 
that  the  "Dutch"  every  where  took  the  best  land  and  were  dan- 
gerous. Afterwards  they  got  patent  deeds  for  their  land  and 
paid  from  ten  to  fifty  pounds  per  hundred  acres.  They  built 
four  walls  with  a  roof  over  it  and  had  raised  grain  and  cattle, 


they  built  log  barns,  raised  fruit  trees  from  the  seed,  and  thus 
one  after  another  had  great  hardships.  The  log  houses  mostly 
were  only  a  story  high,  and  on  the  top  floor,  where  the  wind 
whistled  through  and  the  snow  blew  in,  the  children  used  to 
sleep.  Father  and  mother  had  their  bed  on  the  first  floor. 
Those  children,  who  grew  up  by  coarse  food  and  in  raw  nature 


138 


PENNSYLVANIA  GERMAN  LITEEATURE 

became  the  most  fearfully  strong  men  and  hardy  women,  about 
whom  we  still  hear  the  old  people  speak.     They  were  the 


people  who  helped  to  fight  for  our  freedom  from  England.  And 
such  people  it  took  to  whip  the  English  under  the  circum- 
stances. When  we  now  go  through  our  community  and  see 
the  beautiful  fields  and  meadows,  the  splendid  homes  and 
large  barns,  with  all  kinds  of  out-buildings  and  many  imple- 
ments, we  can  hardly  believe  that  things  were  so  in  olden 
times.  In  place  of  our  good  plows,  harrows,  rollers  and  culti- 
vators, they  had  plows  with  wooden  mould  boards  with  which 
they  skinned  over  the  land,  and  harrows  with  wooden  teeth,  or 
they  dragged  a  limb  of  a  tree  across  the  field  after  they  had 
sowed  it.  Otherwise  they  worked  with  hoe  and  hand.  Just 
think  of  the  old  sickle  and  scythe,  and  compare  them  with 
the  present  machinery,  to  see  the  wonderful  improvement. 
Many  had  no  threshing  floor,  because  there  were  no  boards. 
The  bottom  of  the  barn  was  stamped  hard,  and  there  they 
thrashed  their  grain  with  flails.  'To  clean  grain  they  sifted  it 
through  wooden  sieves,  and  took  it  up  on  a  high  scaffold  and 
threw  it  down  on  sheets  when  the  wind  was  blowing  strongly. 
The  wind  blew  away  the  chaff  and  in  that  way  the  grain  was 
cleaned  without  fanning  mills. 

It  is  surprising,  indeed,  how  much  was  accomplished  with 
industry  and  frugality,  and  God's  blessing  in  a  few  genera- 
tions. There  is  no  people  on  the  face  of  the  earth,  which  has. 
throughout  such  good  houses  and  barns,  everything  so  handy,  j 
clean  and  neat  as  the  Pennsylvania  Germans.  *  As  heretofore 
said,  we  should  not  forget  where  all  this  comes  from.

THE  PEDDLER. 


(Fum  Pora  C.  Z.  Weiser.) 


Won  ich  ols  on  mei'm  f  ensht'r  huk

Un  sa  d'n  kram'r  lawf  a, 
Don  wult  ich  ols,  ich  kent  sei  pok,

'N  monch'r  rent  m'r  do  f  rbei, 


When  I  always  at  my  window  sit, 
And  resting  the  head  on  the  hand, 
And  see  the  peddler  walking  by, 
Then  I  wish,  I  could  his  pack, 
And  all  his  things  togetherwith  sack 
Just  then  and  there  buy  of  him. 

Many  a  one  runs  by  here, 


So  g'shwind,  ich  sa  knops  war  'r  sei    And  who  it  is,  I  cannot  see, 


Un  hob's  aw  glei  f'gesa. 
D'r  kram'r  ow'r  sbleicht  do  he 
Un  trawgt  sei  kup  sher  uf  d'  kne,

'Uf  kors  sei  shuld'r  shworts  un  bio, 

So  epes  lust  sich  deiika. 


And  soon  are  forgotten. 
But  the  peddler  slowly  walks  along 
With  his  head  almost  on  his  knees. 
You  think  he  measures  the  land. 

How  he  breathes  and  how  he  blows, 
Almost  like  an  ox,  who  in  his  yoke 
From  day  to  day  must  hang. 
It  is  certain  that  his  back  is  sore, 
Of  course  his  shoulder  black  &  blue, 
Such,  no  doubt,  is  the  case. 


De  pilg'r-reis  shwetst  fel  fun  'am  Pilgr' s  Progress  speaks  much  of  one

And  in  the  castle  his  colors  mix, 
To  paint  the  peddler's  image  ? 
He  sat  at  the  window  just  like  I, 
And  saw  the  peddler  passing  by, 
And  then  stole  his  picture. 

So  I  imagine  the  thing  to  be 
And  some  one  whispered  it  to  me, 
"So  he  could  have  done  it," 
Until  I  something  better  find. 
The  notion  does  not  leave  my  mind, 
No  one  can  take  it  from  me. 

Yet  that  is  not  much  to  me, 
I  have  another  thing  in  view—- 
The peddler  is  a  type. 
For  every  man  his  trouble  has, 
And  upon  his  back  hangs  fast, 
Just  as  with  wax  and  seal.

At  last  there  falls  the  bundle  down, 
Just  like  Christian's  in  the  town, 
"Jerusalem"  we  call  it. 
Then  we  peddlers  have  sold  out, 
Who  up  there  like  a  traveler  walto^ 
Drives  then,  so  we  read  it. 

If  then  Jew  peddlers  many  be, 
And  gladly  cheat  some  one  :  I  see 
A  Christian  is  a  peddler  too. 
But  he  deals  as  with  good  wares 
Credit  he  has,  his  money  will  pass^ 
With  Israelite  and  Koman.

SIX  O'CLOCK. 

Now  the  clock  strikes  six — attention  give, 

How  the  boys  are  coming  up  the  street, 

Just  as  the  soldiers  from  a  hot  battle — 

The  day's  work  is  ended — .hour  each  one  rejoices. 

The  faces  are  greasy  and  the  hands  are  dirty, 
Many  are  black,  that  we  hardly  know  them, 
But  the  heart  is  right  hones4,  conscience  is  white, 
And  each  one  is  proud  of  hi*  honest  industry. 

• 

The  wife  smiles  already,  holds  the  door  with  her  hand, 
Breakfast  is  ready,  everything  well  prepared, 
The  children  are  jumping  because  full  of  joy, 
And  kiss  their  father,  outside  of  the  door. 

Now  here  with  the  soap  and  the  water  right  warm, 
Entirely  different  skin  is  shown  on  the  arm, 
The  shirt  is  ironed  and  all  things  look  new, 
And  now  comes  content,  the  hearts  are  all  true. 

Heaven  lives  here  in  this  house  upon  earth  ; 
The  wife  is  industrious  and  honor  is  worth  ; 
The  children  obedient,  they  go  to  school, 
All  things  are  in  order  and  work  according  to  rule. 

With  music  and  paper  and  tbe  evening  prayer, 
I  should  like  to  know  for  what  more  you  could  wish, 
To  pass  the  time  by,  with  children  at  home — 
Whoever  wan'ts  more  is  pitiable  alone. 

* 

Now  it  strikes  six  again — he  gets  out  of  bed, 
And  soon  there  is  a  busy  life  in  the  house  ; 
And  ere  the  whistle  down  on  the  shop  blows, 
He  has  his  coffee,  and  his  basket  is  filled. 

Here  they  come  again — a  small  army — 
They  walk  so  lively — I  like  to  see  them. 
Each  one  understands  what  his  labor  shall  be, 
He  soon  has  his  place  and  suits  himself  to  it. 

Now  the  wheel  hums  and  the  steam-whistle  blows  loud, 
And  everything  moves  about  with  industry, 
The  bellows  are  creaking  and  the  turning  lathe  too, 
Each  one  is  busy — don't  work  too  hard.

Everything  is  very  handy  fixed 

In  the  present  good  times, 
No  one  need  exert  himself, 

Unless  he  is  insane. 
Steam  does  everything  for  the  peopld, 

That  is  just  what  1  mean  ; 
And  when  we  want  to  go  some  place, 

We  then  ride  in  the  train.  . 

'Twas  not  so  good  in  olden  time, 

That  I  am  well  aware  of; 
Perhaps  it  makes  the  old  ones  cross, 

But  I  say  it  without  hesitation. 
They  used  to  walk  all  the  way 

From  five  to  fifty  miles, 
A  few,  who  were  somewhat  richer, 

Went  upon  horseback. 

This  was  the  style  in  olden  times, 

Walking  was  no  disgrace ; 
How  we  used  to  trot  along, 

That  is  understood  by  you. 
This  is  no  more  in  our  time, 

Each  one  rides  when  he  can, 
And  he  who  does  not  walk  at  all, 

Is  the  gentleman.

A  hundred  thousand  miles; 
He  surely  has  the  advantage 
Of  all  other  horses. 

The  train  is  always  pretty  full 

Of  all  kinds  of  people, 
Some  are  very  ignorant, 

And  others  are  too  wise. 
There  are  dressed  up  gentlemen, 

Some  black  and  some  white, 
And  the  right  kind  of  ladies 

Oh,  how  nice  they  are. 

Here  sits  a  rascal  in  this  seat, 

And  there  a  good  Christian  ; 
Soon  an  ignorant  inquisitive  person 
comes 

And  asks  who  you  are. 
A  dude  sits  on  that  seat, 

His  ticket  on  his  hat, 
He  thinks  he  is  it  all  alone, 

And  how  good  he  feels. 

A  preacher  sits  not  far  away, 

He  makes  a  long  face. 
And  yonder  is  a  red-headed  fellow, 

He  looks  like  a  light. 
And  further  on  is  a  couple 

Upon  their  wedding  trip, 
They  won't  stay  so  very  long, 

I'll  bet  a  six-pence 

Here  sits  a  woman  with  a  child. 
It  bawls  us  dull  and  deaf.

THE  OLD  SCHOOL-HOUSE  AT  THE  CRKEK, 

To-day  it  is  just  twenty  years, 

Since  I  began  to  roam ; 
Now,  safely  baek,  I  stand  once  more, 
Before  the  quaint  old  school-house  door, 

Close  by  my  father' s  home. 

I've  been  in  many  houses  since, 

Of  marble  built,  and  brick  ; 
Though  grander  far,  their  aim  they  miss, 
To  lure  my  heart's  old  love  from  this 

Old  school-house  at  the  creek. 

Let  those  who  dream  of  happier  scenes, 

Go  forth  those  scenes  to  find  ; 
They'll  learn  what  thousands  have  confessed,

PENNSYLVANIA  GERMAN  LITERATURE 

That  with  our  home' our  heart's  true  rest 
Is  ever  left  behind. 

I've  traveled  long  and  traveled  far, 

Till  weary,  worn  and  sick  ; 
How  j^fess  all  that  I  have  found, 
Compared  with  scenes  to  lie  around 

This  school-house  at  the  creek. 

How  home-like  is  this  spot  to  me ! 

I  stand,  and  think,  and  gaze ! 
The  buried  past  unlocks  its  grav«s, 
While  memory  o'er  my  spirit  waves 

The  wand  of  other  days. 

The  little  creek  still  idles  by, 

With  bright  and  playful  flow ; 
And  little  fish  still  sport  and  glide, 
Where  yon  low  elder  shades  the  tide, 

As  they  did  long  ago. 

The  white-oak  stands  before  the  door, 

And  shades  the  roof  at  noon; 
The  grape-vine,  too,  is  fresh  and  green ; 
,     The  robin's  nest ! — Ah,  hark  ? — I  ween 

That  is  the  same  'old  tune  ! 

The  swallows  skip  across  the  mead — 

The  foremost  one  is  best ! 
And,  look  ye  at  the  gable  there, 
A  house  of  stubble,  mud,  and  hair — 

That  is  the  swallow's  nest ! 

The  young  are  very  still  just  now — 

They  all  are  sleeping  sound  ;  , 
Wait  till  the  old  with  worms  appear, 
Then  you  the  hungry  cry  shall  hear 

From  mouths  that  lie  around  ! 

These  scenes  are  as  they  were  of  yore, 

Though  void  of  former  glee  ; 
But  I  have  changed  ! — From  yonder  brook 
The  boy's  reflected  rosy  look, 

No  more  smiles  cut  on  me  ! 

I  stand,  like  Ossian  in  his  vale, 

And  watch  the  shadowy  train  ! 
Now  joy,  now  sadness  me  beguile, 
And  tears  will  course  o'er  every  smile, 

And  bring  their  pleasing  pain  ! 

'Twas  here  I  first  attended  school, 

When  I  was  very  small : 
There  was  the  Master  on  his  stool, 
There  was  his  whip  and  there  his  rule  - 

I  seem  to  see  it  all.

The  long  desks  ranged  along  the  walls, 
With  books  and  inkstands  crowned ; 
Here  on  this  side  the  large  girls  sat, 
And  there  the  tricky  boys  on  that — 
See !  how  they  peep  around  ! 

The  Master  eyes  them  closely  now, 

They'd  better  have  a  care ; 
The  one  that  writes  a  billet-doux — 
The  one  that  plays  his  antics,  too — 

And  that  chap  laughing  there  ! 

For  all  the  scholars,  large  and  small, 

Are  under  equal  rule  ; 
Which  is  quite  right — whoever  breaks 
The  Master's  rules,  a  whipping  takes, 

Or  leaves  at  once  the  school. 

Around  the  cosy  stove,  in  rows, 

The  little  tribe  appears  ; 
What  hummings  make  those  busy  bees—- 
They better  like  their  A,  B,  C's, 

Than  boxing  at  their  ears  ! 

Those  benches  are  by  far  too  high — 

Their  feet  don't  reach  the  floor ! 
Full  many  a  weary  back  gets  sjck, 
In  that  old  school-house  at  the  creek, 

And  feels  most  woeful  sore  ! 

Poor  innocents  !  behold  them  sit, 

In  miseries  and  woes  ! 
It  is  no  wonder,  I  declare, 
If  they  should  learn  but  little  there, 

On  benches  such  as  those  ! 

With  all  these  drawbacks,  that  was  still 

A  well  conducted  school ; 
For  Master  such,  iu  vain  you  look, 
Who  cyphers  through  the  Ains worth  book, 

And  never  skips  a  rule  ! 

That  he  was  cross,  I  must  confess  : 
He  whipped  us  through  and  through ; 

But  still  most  wholesome  rules  observed ; 

Who  felt  the  rod,  the  rod  deserved — 
According  to  his  view  ! 

At  noon-day,  when  the  school  left  out, 

We  had  of  sport  our  fill  ; 
Some  play  the  race,  some  houses  wall, 
Some  love  a  stirring  game  of  ball, 

Some  choose  the  soldier  drill. 

The  large  girls  sweep  ;  the  larger  boys — 
What  mischief  they  are  at ! 


163 


PENNSYLVANIA  GERMAN  LITERATURE 


They  tease,  they  laugh,  they  hang  about, 
Until  the  Master  turns  them  out — 
The  rules  were  strict  in  that ! 

The  little  girls,  of  "ring"  most  fond, 

Their  giggling  circle  drew  ; 
When  larger  girls  joined  in  the  ring — 
Now  is  it  not  a  curious  thing  ? — 
The  large  boys  did  it  too  ! 

The  large  ones  always  tagged  the  large — 
The  small  ones  always  missed  !

We  barred  the  Master  firmly  out, 
With  bolts,  and  nails,  and  timbers  stout—

THE  OLDEN  TIMES. 

I  still  remember  the  old  dish 

Made  entirely  from  pewter, 
Right  in  the  middle  of  the  large  table 
And  heaped  up  full,  a  whole  lot — 

What  do  you  think  was  in  it  ? 
Sometimes  "seurkraut  and  schpeck" 
And  sometimes  "schnitz  and  knop." 

I  still  remember  the  old  plates, 

I  think  I  see  them  yet ; 
We  had  an  old  corner-cupboard 
Full  of  the  old  kind  of  tableware, 


169 


PENNSYLVANIA  GERMAN  LITERATURE 


With  sky-blue  pictures  ; 
I  can  never  forget 
The  pictures  and  the  pleasant  meal. 

With  knife  and  fork  we  ate, 
But  not  the  mush  and  soup  ; 

Each  one  had  his  spoon 

And  ate  till  he  was  done, 
Until  he  was  full  and  stout, 

Sometimes  the  soup  and  mush  were  so 
hot 

It  was  no  wonder  if  you  got  cross. 

Farther  asked  a  blessing  at  the  table, 
And  then  we  were  all"  quiet ; 

Jake  could  hardly  wait, 

And  would  burn  his  mouth  with  mush 
Or  else  he  would  not  get  enough 

And  hardly  had  he  tasted  the  mush 

Before  he  swore  a  little  on  the  quiet. 

This  used  to  trouble  him  at  night 

And  then  he  prayed 
And  wept,  and  said  he  would  try 
And  study  for  a  preacher,   as   sure  as 
you  live, 

If  it  would  not  be  for  the  girls. 
But  until  we  have  mush  again 
His  sin  and  trouble  was  all  forgotten. 

Noodle  soup  was  the  worst 
To  eat  in  a  decent  manner. 

They  hung  to  your  chin 

And  you  had  to  eat  them  in  a  manner 
Much  as  cattle  eat  straw. 

As  straw  hangs  to  the  barn  gate 

The  noodles  hung  from  mouth  to   ear.

SNNSYLVANIA  GERMAN  LITERATURE 

In  winter  evenings  mush  and  milk — 

How  hot  the  mush  was  ! 
And  how  cold  was  the  milk  ! 
No  matter  how  cold  the  milk 

The  mush  was  just  as  hot. 
It  was-  hard  on  teeth  and  gums 
When  heat  and  cold  come  together. 

The  old  kind  of  gentlemen  are  scarce 

And  I  know  why  it  is  ; 
Pride  with  many  young  people 
Makes  them  appear  great,  to-day, 

But  to-morrow  they  are  in  rags. 
You  big  fool,  what  do  you  mean  ? 
Clothing  alone  doesn't  make  the  man. 

Why  are  there  so  many  young  fellows 
Who  dont  want  to  work  any  more  ? 

Many  of  them  have  weak  eyes, 

Others  have  weak  stomachs — 
And  so  it  goes. 

They   are   ashamed   to   eat    sourkraut    and 

schpeck 

And  they  eat  nothing  but  sweet  meats. 

No  wonder  th^v  get  so  weak 

As  a  spidei  w  -b, 

No  wonder  they  have  no  strength, 
No  aim  and  no  object  in  view, 

No  cheeks  and  no  calf  at  their  legs 
They  remind  me  of 
Dummies  before  a  clothing  store. 

We  had  no  news  paper,  in  the  house 

Full  of  bad  news, 
We  knew  nothing  about  robbery, 
Murder,  fire  and  witchcraft 

And  about  hard  times. 
The  latest  news  was  in  the  Almanac 
The  best  meal  was  in  the  sourkraut  tub. 

We  also  knew  what  honesty  was 

And  we  did  not  lose  much. 
In  those  times  we  were  not  often  deceived, 
And  not  half  as  often  cheated: 

There  were  not  so  many  oaths  taken, 
A  man  was  taken  at  his  word 
An  ox  at  his  horn — so  we  had  it. 

The  money  we  didn't  put  to  bank 

For  people  to  steal. 
The  best  bank  in  the  whole  world, 
To  keep  money  securely 

And  count  it  all  again, 


PENNSYLVANIA  GERMAN  LITERATURE 

So  at  least  the  people  thought — 
Was  an  old  stocking  in  the  chimney. 

Did  you  ever  hear 

In  those  old  times, 

Of  a  fuss  and  complaint  of  the  people 
That  such  a  bank  had  "bust," 

As  they  are  doing  now-a-days? 
Such  a  stocking  then  was  better, 
Than  banks  now  with  the  best  locks. 

This  is  a  time  for  great  things, 

For  great  steamboats  and  houses, 
For  railroads  and  mortgages 
At  ten  per  cent,  and  gold  coupons ; 

For  great  thieves  and  rascals. 
The  laws  are  made  for  corporations 
For  great  men  and  speculations.  i 

They  live  in  the  highest  style, 

They  carry  their  heads  in  the  air. 
To-day  they  are  good,  to-morrow  bad. 
It  is  not  honest  nor  right, 

I  can't  understand  it. 
They  smoke  principe  cigars 
And  riae  in  palace  cars 

Where  is  the  good  old  honesty  ? 

The  gold  and  silver  dollars  ? 
Where  are  the  old  Jackson  people  ? 
Where  are  the  Benton  mintdrops  to-daj 

And  all  the  honest  debtors  ? 
Instead  of  them  we  have  promises 
Which  are  good  if  kept. 

If  you  want  to  be  free  from  the  law 

You  must  steal  something  valuable 
Not  less  than  half  a  millon. 
Never  steal  only  a  half  crown 

Or  else  you  will  miss  it. 
The  rich  thieves  get  clear, 
The  poor  go  to  prison. 

It  doesn't  depend  on  locks, 

Safes  and  iron  bars, 
Thick  walls  and  iron  doors, 
With  all  these  you  are  not  safe — 

There  is  nothing  but  wax  and  seal. 
Yet  that  is  no  good 
If  honesty  does  not  exist.

Uf  selle  alte  Better  !

OLDEN  TIMES. 

We  thrashed  the  rye  with  a  flail 

Tied  with  eel  skin, 
As  often  as  one  was  up, 
Almost  at  the  hayloft 

Bounce,  the  other  was  down  I 
And  from  the  old  chestnut  grove 
The  echo  resounded.

PENNSYLVANIA  GERMAN  LITERATURE 

Thus  we  used  to  thrash  the  rye, 

And  the  wheat  with  the  horses 
We  rode  them  around  on  it,  a  long  time, 
Oh  my,  how  ignorant  we  were 

That's  not  the  way  now 
The  thrashing  machine  is  the  reason 
That  thrashing  now  hums  differently. 

When  done  the  straw  was  so  nice 

And  soft,  you'  11  scarcely  believe  it ; 
And  oh,  how  light  and  soft  the  chaif ! 
You  don't  know,  I'll  tell  you  now, 

There  was  no  better  bed. 
Away  with  mattress  and  with  springs 
And  all  such  dear  and  costly  things. 

How  quietly  we  slept 

In  those  old  beds  ! 

The  more  unpleasant  and  rough  the  night 
The  better  we  would  sleep 

With  no  concern  about  the  weather 
If  the  old  chimney  was  still  there, 
There  was  no  trouble  and  danger.

My  lieve  Grossmutter  :  Du  nmscht  clei  Leit  sich  besser  behefe  mache. 
eunscht  kents  f'rhaftich  Grieg  gevva  zwische  die  Englender  un  die 
Deustsche.  Du  huscht,  anyhow,  keh  Business  die  arme  Bcere  so  hart 
nunner  zu  dricke.  Sie  hen  g'fochte  vor  ihre  Land,  un  hen  ihre  Freiheit 
verdient.  Wann  ihr  Englander  Land  obsolut  schtehle  misst  eich  ufzu- 
halte,  dann  schtehlt's  von  graessre  Lender — net  von  so  arme,  schwache 
Leit  das  sich  sheer  gaar  net  helfe  kenne.  Es  kan  sei  das  es  net  juscht

roth-g' sichtich  Salsbury  das  dich,  my  lieve  Grossmutter,  so  viel  druvel 
macht. 

Was  denkt  dann  der  Uncle  Wales  dafun  ?  Hut  er  dann  gaar  nix  zu

verhaftich  grawt  aweek  ufgewe.  Wie  is  es  dann  ?  Is  es  waar  das  die 
Englender  welle  mich  ous  die  Clubs  schmeise — die  wu  ich  g'jined  hab

A  LETTER  FROM  EMPEROR  WILHELM  TO  HIS 
GRANDMOTHER. 

BERLIN,  Germany,  Jau.  10,  1896. 

My  Dear  Grandmother :  You  must  make  your  people  behave  them- 
selves better,  else  it  could  indeed  cause  war  between  the  English  and  the 
Germans.  You  have  anyhow  no  business  to  oppress  the  poor  Boers  so 
hard.  They  have  fought  for  their  land  and  have  earned  their  liberty.

If  you  English  must  necessarily  steal  to  pass  your  time,  then  steal  from 
larger  countries,  not  from  such  a  poor,  weak  people  that  can  hardly  help 
themselves.  It  may  be  that  it  is  not  your  own  fault ;  perhaps  it  is  the 
old,  stubborn,  thick-headed,  red-faced  Salisbury  who  makes  you,  my 
dear  Grandmother,  so  much  trouble. 

What  do  you  think  that  Uncle  Prince  of  Wales  thinks  about  it?  Has 
he  nothing  to  say  ?  I  think  he  is  too  busy  playing  cards,  drinking  wine 
and  riding  in  his  carriage.  Does  he  play  that  game  yet  that  they  call 
Packerack  ?  If  he  does  he  should  surely  quit  it  immediately.  How  is 
it  ?  Is  it  true  that  the  English  want  to  throw  me  out  of  the  clubs  that  I 
joined  when  I  was  in  London.  What  the  Devil,  do  you  think,  I  care 
whether  they  throw  me  out  or  not.  Just  tell  Uncle  Wales  that  he  should 
get  the  account  of  what  I  owe  the  clubs  for  dues  and  the  like  and  I  will 
pay  them  right  away.  But  tell  him  he  must  send  me  a  receipt,  or  else 
they  would  cheat  me  yet  besides/  Such  chaps  you  mustn't  trust  too  far. 

And  now,  Grandmother,  one  thing  more  and  I  am  done.  Krueger 
must  be  supported  and  no  matter  what  you  say,  you  may  send  down  as 
many  of  yoar  ships  as  you  like.  Germany  has  ships  too,  and  better  tor- 
pedo boats  than  England. 

You  would  better  not  fight  so  much  with  words,  but  keep  cool,  else 
there  will  be  war  and  we  will  whip  you  as  the  Americans  have  done 
at  times.  You  must  not  think  that  I  will  not  fight  because  I  am  married 
and  have  a  large  family  to  support ;  especially  in  winter  since  it  is  so 
cold.  Oh  no,  Grandmother  you  are  off  your  base  if  you  think  so.  This 
reminds  me  that  I  must  bring  my  letter  to  a  close.  I  must  go  out  to 
drill  my  soldiers  and  get  my  people  ready  for  a  thundering  big  slaughter, 
BO  thai  when  it  is  necessary  we  are  prepared.  Respectfully.

THE  "BIKE." 

On  Saturday  I  went  to  town 
For  business  and  for  fun, 

And  there  I  met  the  ugliest  beast 
I  e'er  set  eyes  upon. 

It  seemed  a  motvkey  seated  on 
A  pole,  with  wheels  thereto 

Attached;  a  little  pointed  cap 
He  wore,  and  drawers — pooh  ! 

Why,  'tis  a  burning  shame,  the  way 
This  "critter"  rides  about — 

In  undershirt  and  drawers  clad, 
His  calves  with  sand  filled  out ! 

Just  like  an  old  orang-outang     <-» 
He  looked — his  nose  afire, 

His  face  all  flushed, his  back  all  bent;

ZEECHAGLAWA  UN  BRAUCHEREI. 

Deel  Leit  hen  en  arger  Glawa  an  die  Zeecha,  wu  im  Kalen- 
ner  stehn,  un  au  da  Mond.  Wann  sie  eppes  planza  wolla  im 
wolla  im  Garta  odder  im  Feld,  guckasie,  eb'sim  zuneinmenda 
is  ;  was  mer  im  abnemmenda  planzt.  meena  sei,  deet  net  gut 
gerota.  Wann  mer'n  Haus  zu  decka  hot,  sei  mer's  duh,  wann 
der  Mond  unner  sich  steht;  no  bleiwa  die  Schindla  schee  teit 
drunna.  Wammer's  deckt  im  iwersich  gehenda,  dann  ringla 
sich  die  Schindla  in  die  Heh  un's  Dach  werd  struwelig.  Warn- 
mer  Poschtafenz  macht,  sot  mer  jo  die  Poschta  net  eigrawa  im 
iwersich  gehenda,  sunscht  bleiwa  sie  net  im  Grund;  sie  krattla 
in  die  Heh,  un  die  Fenz  fallt  ztimma.  Sie  behaapten  ah,  warn- 
mer'n  Bord  hi'legt,  wu  der  Mond  a  Weil  druf  scheint,  deet's 
sich  unnersich  biega  odder  iwersich,  so  wie  der  Mond  steht. 
Mir  hetta  nau  net  gedenkt,  dass  der  Mond  so  a  Power  het,  awer 
deel  Leit  glawa  so. 

Wann  die  Obschtbeem  recht  bliha  im  zunemmenda,  heesst's 
als,  daerf  mer  plenty  Frichta  ekschpecta;  wann  awer  die  Bliet 
in's  abnemmend  kummt,  no  falla  die  Frichta  glei  ab  un's  gebt 
a  schlechter  Crop.  Im  Spotjohr  soil  mer  die  Eppel  wegduh, 
wann  der  Mond  dunkel  is,  so  um  da  Neimond  rum,  dass  sie 
net  faula. 

Wammer  recht  viel  scheena  Blumma  ziega  will,  sot  mer  sie 
in  da  Zwilling  planza  saga  deel;  Annera  planza  sie  in  der  ''bli- 
henda  Jungfrau."  Grumbeera  soil  mer  in  der  Wog  planza;  no 
schluppa  sie  net  so  dief  in  da  Grund  un  werra  gross,  schee  rund. 
Wammer  sie  awer  iin  Krebs  planzt,  daun  krattla  sie  dief  nun-

mera  daerf  raer  net  in  da  Zwilling  planza,  sunscht  duhn  sie  nix 
as  bliha  da  ganza  Summer  un  haenga  net  ah. 

Cider,  wu  Essig  gewa  soil,  sot  mer  im  Leeb  abzappa,  dass  er 
recht  stark  werd;  's  Winterfleesch  awer  sot  mer  net  im  Leeb 
uhfaenga,  sunscht  werd's  lewendig  wie'n  Leeb — es  krigt 
Waerm.  Wann  die  Ihma  in  der  Wog  Schwaema,  sei  is  a  gut 
Sein;  no  were  der  Karschta  schwer  voil  Hunnig.  Glucko

mer's  Kopcha  rura  un  stellt's  widder  recbt;  so  viel  Leina  as 
no  der  Satz  weist,  so  viel  Leit  kumma  uf  Bsuch  sella  Dag.  Wann 
a  Medel  wissa  will,  wella  Weg  ihra  Boh  beikummt,  dann  losst 
sie's  Inschlichlicht  brenna,  bis  der  Wiecha  newanaus  point;

dann  geht's  net  gschwind  doot.  Wammer  an  Blumma  riecht, 
un  uf  ma  Grab  wacbsa,  no  verliert  mer  da  Geruch.  Wammer 
iwer  a  klee  Kind  naus  schritt,  no  wachst's  nimme  stark  odder

Wammer  sich  bei  'm  Essa  vergesst  un  nemmt  sich  eppes  naus,

Ich  daeht  gern  en  guter  Drink  Whisky  raus  schuette,

Er  nemmt  dann  die  Bottel  un  fuellt  sich  sie  Glass 
So  voll,  wann  er  drinkt  kummt  er  nei  mit  der  Naas  ;

Im  neue  Waegel'ie  un  'em  grohe  Fuell. 

Die  Kate  is  noch  aerger  gebutzt  as  wie  er.

As  wie  des  an  dem  Morge  war, 


Wie  sie  in  der  Fair-grund  nei  g'fahre  sin —

'S  war  ewiger  Laerm,   awer  doch   war's   ah   grand. 

Zu  erscht     hut's  die  Kate     shier-gar  bang  gemacht; 
Der  Jake  awer  hut  juscht  gelacht. 
"Nemm  du  juscht  mei  Hand,"  sagt  der  Jake;  "un  noh

'N  Sackvoll  Grundnuss  wern  g'kauft  fer'n  Staerd —

An  der  Fair  awer  guckt  mer  net  uf  die  Expense! 
Un  d«r  Jake  fuehlt  heit  ah  so  reich  'n  Prince.

Von  die  Buwe  un  die  Maed  sin  viel

Das  sie  'n  'gut  Dutzend  Mol  mit  em  rum  g'f ahre  is ;

Von  Schof  un  von  Sei,  's  nix  aberdich  zu  sell';

A  great  deal  of  fun  is  made  about  our  Penna.  German  people.  It  is 
cast  up  to  them  that  they  are  ignorant  and  don't  care  about  education ; 
but  if  such  people  would  read  the  history  of  our  state,  they  would  know 
better,  for  history  tells  us  that  the  smartest  people  in  this  state  were 
Penna.  Germans.  A  large  number  of  our  governors  were  Penna.  Ger- 
man farmer  boys,  who  through  their  own  diligence  have  stepped  to  high 
positions.  To  prove  this  we  will  give  a  few  examples.

The  above  is  a  picture  of  the  statue  of  Maj.  Gen.  John  F. 
Hartranft,  one  of  Pennsylvania's  fighting  generals,  a  Pennsyl- 
vania German  and  Governor  of  Pennsylvania,  from  1870  to 
1879.  The  statue  stands  directly  in  front  of  the  Capitol  at 
Harrisburg,  on  the  west  side,  facing  the  Susquehanna  River. 
The  location  is  an  ideal  one,  the  finest  on  Capitol  Hill, 
and  the  statue  can  be  seen  from  a  great  distance.  The  statue 
represents  Hartranft  returning  home  from  war  and  receiving 
the  plaudits  of  the  people  as  he  rides  his  war  steed.  He  has 
saluted  with  bared  bead  until  the  cap  hangs  bv  his  side.

FIRST  TROOPS  TO  RESPOND. 

President  Lincoln  called  for  75,000  troops  April  15,  1861.  530  men  from 
the  following  companies  were  the  first  troops  in  the  United  States  to  re- 
spond :  Allen  Infantry,  of  Allentown;  Ringgold  Light  Artillery,  of  Read, 
ing;  Logan  Gaurds,  of  Lewistown;  and  Washington  Artillery  and  Nation-

They  reached  Harrisburg  the  same  day  and  Washington,  April  18th. 
Among  these  were  a  large  numb  r  of  Pennsylvania  Germans  whose  read- 
iness to  sacrifice  their  all  for  their  country,  WAS  MANIFESTED  IN  THIS 
AND  IN  ALL  OTHER  WARS  OF  OUR  COUNTRY'S  HISTORY. 

THERE  ARE  MANY  OTHERS. 

There  are  many  other  distinguished  Pennsylvania  Germans, 
but  as  this  is  more  particularly  a  book  of  instuction,  we  are

f    A  POINTER  TO^PEOPLE  WHO  RIDICULE  PENNSYL- 
VANIA GERMAN. 

From  "Stories  and  Reminiscences"  by  Ex-Senator,  Evan  Holben. 
A  bevy  of  jack  a-dandies  with   fuzzy-wuzzy   faces  and   summer    girls 
with  their  dresses  cut  off  above,  sojourned  a  few  days  where  the  inhabi- 
tants^were  all  very  highly  proficient  in  the  Pennsylvania  German  tongue, 
f  They|liked  the  cooking,  they  relished  the  victuals,   they   enjoyed    the 
invigorating  atmosphere.     In  fact,  they  could  stomach  all  except  the  lan- 
guage, which  they  hated.  "Too  much  Dutch  here,  there  and  everywhere," 
was  the  common  voice.     Finally  they  packed  up  and  went  to  the   depot, 
where  they  heard  some  more  Dutch;  "too  much  Dutch,"  was  heard  from 
every  one.     After  they  had  been  snugly  seated  in  the  car,  two  men  with 
dinnerjpails  came  in  talking  Pennsylvania  German.   "Too  much  Dutch!" 
was  the  chorus  of  the  coterie.    One  of  the  men  said:  "My  young  friends, 
when  you  go  away  from  home  again,  you    go  to   hell,     WHERE     YOU 
WON'T  HEAR  ANY  DUTCH".

From  "Story  of  the  Pennsylvania  German,"  by  William 
Beidelman,  Esq. 

The  Valley  of  the  Rhine,  is  indeed  "the  Garden  of  Germany," 
if  not  of  all  Europe.  For  more  than  a  thousand  years,  the  Rhine  was 
the  prize  for  which  the  Romans,  Gauls  and  the  Germans  contended- 
All  of  the  states  shown  on  map,  and  parts  of  Switzerland  contributed 
to  the  German  emmigration  to  Pennsylvania.  All  practically  spoke 
the  same  dialect,  which  came  down  from  the  Alemanni,  the  beat 
type  of  old  High  German. 

The  largest  emmigration  from  the  Palatinate  was  from  1730 
to  1760. 


PART  THIRD, 

Pennsylvania  German   Dictionary. 

Words  in  Use  Among  Pennsylvania  Germans, 

with  English  and  High  German 

Equivalents. 


REMARKS. 

Origin  of  the  Language.— It  is  sometimes  taken  for  granted, 
bv  ignorant  persons,  that  the  Pennsylvania  Germans  have  no 
language  of  their  own,  that  they  speak  a  patois,  that  their 
language  is  an  admixture  of  English,  or  that  it  is  Dutch. 

Hence  it  may  not  be  out  of  place  to  give  the  origin  of  the 
language.  Martin  Luther,  in  the  early  part  of  the  sixteenth 
century,  by  his  Bible  translations,  hymns  and  extensive  writ- 
ings in  High  German,  caused  that  dialect  to  become  the  stand- 
ard language  of  German  literature. 

Hence  to  this  day  the  High  German  is  employed  in  literary 
productions  as  well  as  in  discourse.  But  there  were  also 
other  dialects  spoken  through  all  the  centuries  in  different 
parts  of  Germany. 

In  the  southern  portion — whence  the  greater  part  of  the 
Germans  who  settled  in  Pennsylvania,   came — a  dialt  ct  akin 
to  that  which  prevails  in  the  German  counties  of  Pennsylvania , 
was  spoken,  and  has  continued  to  be  used  to  a  certain  extent 
to  this  day. 

This  is  the  origin  of  the  Pennsylvania  German.  It  is  as  old 
as  the  High  German,  possibly  older,  and  frequently  more 
expressive. 

It  has  never  been  extensively  used  in  print,  because  the 
High  German  was  adopted  for  this  end. 

As  a  spoken  language,  however,  it  has  prevailed  from  time 
immemorial  in  the  south  German  dialects. 

The  ancestors  pf  many  of  the  Pennsylvania  Germans  came 
from  the  Palatinate  or  Pfalz,  now  included  in  Baden,  Bava'-a 
and  Darmstadt,  where  a  language  resembling  that  of  the  Penn- 
sylvania German  very  closely,  is  still  spoken 

217 


In  order  to  show  how  much  the  language  spoken  in  the  Palatinate,  in 
the  section  of  country  from  which  ruan^  Pennsylvania  Germans  came,  re- 
sembles the  Pennsylvania  German,  we  make  the  following  brief  extract 
from  "Palzishe  G'schichte,"  a  book  written  by  Franz  von  Kobell,  and 
published  at  Munichin  in  1808. 

Goost'l  is  a  young  lady  using  the  Palatinate  dialect.  Philip  speaks 
High  German. 

Des  shtik  is  do  gewa  zu  baweisa  dos  se  in  d'r  Pols  'aw  so  shwetsa,  's

It  also  has  a  number  of  Swiss  and  Alsatian  characteristics. 

Many  of  the  Pennsylvania  German  words  can  be  traced 
back  to  older  roots,  and  they  are  often  more  expressive  than 
their  High  German  synonyms.  "Goul,"  the  Pennsylvania 
German  word  for  "horse,"  is  older  and  mo*e  purely  German 
than  k'Pferd,"  the  High  German,  which  is  derived  from  the 
Latin  veredus ;  "Hutsch,"  colt,  and  "Hutschli,"  little  colt, 
from  the  Suabian  "hutschel,"  "hutschele,"  Westerwald 
"husz,"  Lusatian  "huszche,"  is  more  purely  German  and 
.more  expressive  than  "Fuellen,"  the  High  German,  which  is 


218 


derived  from  the  Greek  and  the  Latin. 

"Hutschli"  and  "  hutschla"  is  an  imitation  of  the  sound 
made  by  young  colts,  and,  therefore,  as  that  large  class  of 
words,  which  are  the  oldest  in  all  languages,  it  must  come 
down  from  the  historic  age,  when  the  names  of  objects  were 
first  invented. 

"Homili,"  little  calf,  can  be  traced  back  through  the  Swiss 
"ammeli"  and  "mammeli"  to  the  language  of  nature,  which 
gives  us  "mamma,"  the  labial  sound  made  in  imitation  of  the 
mother,  when  the  child  observes  her  lips  move  in  talking  to 
it,  while  she  is  bending  over  the  cradle, — a  word  common  to 
all  languages. 

The  Pennsylvania  German  for  "pig,"  "sou."  with  its  "hus 
sou"  and  •  '\\uts,"  are  stiik  ng  illustrations  of  the  antiquity  of 
this  language,  when  it  is  remembered  that  these  words  are 
derived  from  the  sound  made  in  imitation  of  the  pig  ;  words 
belonging  to  the  common  language  of  i  ature,  from  which  the 
Latin  ".-us,"  the  Gnek  us  (hus.)  the  English  "sow,"  the 
Dutch  ":-oe,"  etc.,  are  derived,  "gchwein,"  the  High  Ger- 
man, is  of  much  more  recent  or'gin,  it  being  a  derivative  of 
"sou,'  from  the  Saxon  "svin"  and  "su."  The  Pennsylvania 
Gernian  "grumbeer,"  "potato,"  is  much  more  expressive  and 
original,  meanirg  a  "crooked  pear."  or  "grundbeer,"  ground 
pear,  ihin  the  High  German  "kaitoffel,"  derived  from  "  erd- 
apfel,"  an  "artichoke." 

The  Pennsylvania  German  "krop,"  "crow,"  "schpel," 
"pin,"  "schtraal,"  "comb,"  "  scbjruwlich."  "strubly," 
"ponhaws,"  "scrabble,"  "bewi,"  "a  young  chicle  ',"  i4niul- 
lakup,"  "tadpole,"  "blech,"  "tin-cup,"  "botser,"  "a  tailless 
chicken,"  "butzuh,"  "stumpy,"  are  vastly  more  expressive 
and  original  than  their  English  or  High  German  equivalents. 

Our  Dictionary.  —Below  we  quote  from  The  Pennsylvania 
German  Dialect,  a  scientific  treatment  and  a  commendable 
work,  by  Marion  Dexter  Learned,  Ph.  D.,  of  the  University 
of  Pennsylvania.  The  following  refers  to  our  first  edition. 
This  edition  contains  several  hundred  more  words  : 

"  There  are  two  approximate!;'  complete  dictionaries  of  the 
P.  G.  diatect,  both  published  since  Prof.  Haldeman  wrote  his 
'Essay  on  Pennsylvania  Dutch.'  Of  these  two  lexicons,  that 
compiled  by  E.  H.  Rauch  and  published  in  his  Pennsylvania 
Dutch  Handbook  (P.  G.-N.  E.  and  N.  E.-P.  ,G.  )  contains,  to 
quote  his  own  words,  'Schir  fir  dmisand  wordta,  biseids  a  dmi- 
sand menar  BS  T?US  am  ensrlisch  gonumma  sinn,'  thus  making 
an  aggregate  of  about  5000  words.  The  second  of  the  above 
mentioned  dictionaries  is  that  published  by  Prof.  A.  R.  Home 
in  his  book  entitled  ^m  Horn  sei  Pennsyfvirnizh  Deilxch  Budi* 
(P.  G.-N.  E.  N.  H.  G.)  This  is  by  far  the  ino&t  complete  and 


219 


•dentine  lexicon  of  the  jr.  G.  speecn,  and  contains  5522  words. 
In  addition  to  these  two  dictionaries  there  are  three  other  in- 
complete glossaries,  one  appended  by  H.  L.  Fisher  to  his  l  g» 
Ylt  Maerikhnus  mittds  in  for  Schdvtt,'  the  second  to  his  lKurz-

Spelling  and  How  to  Use  the  Dictionary.  —  A  system  of  or- 
thography must  be  adopted,  and  the  spelling  made  to  conform 
thereto.  Numerous  details  which  can  not  be  given  here,  are 
to  be  taken  into  consideration,  and  after  all  the  collecting, 
weighing,  sifting  and  arranging,  our  work  is  now  presented  to 
the  public  in  this  shape.  By  observing  the  following  direc- 
tions the  plan  of  the  Dictionary  and  the  method  of  using  it 
may  be  understood  : 

I.  Study  carefufly  the  Key  of  Sounds  on  page  19. 

2  The  words  are  given  in  alphabetical  order  in  accordance  with  their 
Bound,  aw  and  ei  being  considered  as  but  one  letter,  and  so  on. 

3.  Words  not  found  under  the  letter  where  they  are  looked  for  may  be 
found  under  one  resembling  it,   as  gounti  for  kounti,   county,   shduk  or 
shtuk,  cane,  plant,  etc. 

4.  Compound  words  are  not  given,   when  the  compound  word  has  the 
game  signification  as  the   separate   words  from  which  it  is  formed,   as 
huns-huls,  dog-wood. 

5.  Words,  which  are  the  same  in  Pennsylvania  Germs*  v»  as  in  English, 
are  omitted,  as  wotch,  watch. 

6.  Where  words  are  different  in  different  localities,   usually  all  the 
different  forms  in  use  are  given. 

7.  Plurals  of  nouns  are  not  given,  except  when  they  are  very  irregular. 
Sometimes  where  the  plural  is  in  more  general  use  than  the  singular,  if 
is  given  instead  of  the  singular 

8.  The  vowel  of  unaccented  syllables  is  usually  omitted,  as  'n  foi  en, 
m'r  for  mar,  etc. 

9.  The  noun  and  the  verb  are,   when  alike,  given  as  one  word    *« 
leg,  lie. 

10.  Diminutives  end  in  li  and  chi.      When  a  word  ending  in  these  syl- 
lables is  not  found  in  the  vocabulary,  it  may  be  taken  for  granted  to  mean 
a  little  one  of  the  kind,  as  seili,  or  seichi,  a  little  pig. 

II.  There  are  differences  of  pronunciation  of  some  words,   as  in  some 
sections  of  country  and  by  some  persons  first  is  pronounced  arsht,  and 
by  others  arsht.     In  such  cases  the  form  in  most  common  use  is  gener- 
ally given.

PAST,  PRESENT  AND  FUTURE 

ITHIN  the  foregoing  pages  there 
is  recorded  much  that  throws  light 
upon  the  life,  history,  dialect,  char- 
acter and  habits  of  the  Pennsyl- 
vania Germans,  that  sturdy  race  of  men 
who  by  their  toil,  brains,  thrift,  industry, 
honesty,  fidelity,  integrity  and  faith  have 
done  so  much  to  make  Pennsylvania  the 
proud  Commonwealth  she  is.  The  fathers 
of  the  past,  the  sons  of  the  present,  and 
they  of  the  unborn  generations  will  to- 
gether make  a  history  of  achievement  in 
all  the  varied  fields  of  human  endeavor 
that  shall  make  the  pulse  beat  quicker  as 
one  remembers  that  of  such  blood  was  he 
made,  and  that  to  such  a  heritage  he  was 
born.  While  the  dialect  that  so  strongly 
marks  them  from  other  tongues  will  vanish 
before  the  onward  march  of  the  all-con- 
quering English  language,  and  modern 
culture  alter  much  of  that  which  seems 
rude  and  crude  to  him  who  has  not  lived 
among  them  or  known  them,  time  will  not 
change  the  imperishable  virtues  which 
this  folk  have  infusd  into  the  great  body 
of  the  people,  there  to  blossom  and  to 
bloom  in  word  and  actions  that  shall  make 
the  world  better,  and  humanity  happier 
by  what  they  did.
